What’s the lowest and highest possible average ratings BB19 can achieve?

[Eddie.]

BB12: 1.55 mil.
BB13: 1.63 mil.
BB14: 1.9 mil.
BB15: 1.57 mil.
BB16: 1.4 mil.
BB17: 1.6 mil.
BB18: 1.24 mil.

^^Just so that you all can see the pattern.

So most of the C5 civilian series average between 1.4 to 1.6 million, with BB14 pulling in significant more, and BB18 pulling significantly less, due to the success of Love Island.

Since we all know C5 are avoiding LI, and with the new Creative director, BB19 seems promising...

Though what is the lowest and highest you can see BB19 achieving?

Lowest: 1.0 mil. :skull:
Highest: 2.0 mil. (being optimistic here)

[RileyH]

Lowest: 0.9
Highest: 1.5

[LukeB]

Highest : 1.2
Lowest: 0.8

[Epic.]

The drop of more than 300,000 viewers between BB14 and BB15 :skull: Sam Evans the cause?

Highest: 1.3
Lowest: 0.9

Lowest: 0.9

It was just 15’s cast in general...

[Eddie.]

Though if 15 had good casting, it would average around 1.7 mil.?

[Matthew.]

I’d like to think the lowest would still be around the 1.0 million mark.

Highest? 1.5

[RileyH]

Though if 15 had good casting, it would average around 1.7 mil.?

It did have good casting tyvm

[Eddie.]

I think the bullying put people off...

[LukeB]

Mess at the big drop from BB17 to BB18 :skull:

[*mazedsalv**]

To note, BB17 was 1.58m so highest since BB14.

And anyway IIRC the new BARB system comes into action in September so if BB is still on when the changes come, it will help as they will start adding online views to official ratings (which is a few hundred thousand).

I'm going to predict 1.37m official (1m overnight).

Regular BB will never hit 2m. Pretty sure the last time it did in overnights was BB14 launch?

[Jake.]

BB15 got 2.1 for its first launch too

[annabelindabee]

it will always be higher at the beginning but i recon if it goes down to 1 Million or less by the mid point it won't be coming back next year... or maybe it will but next year they will do what america does and only have three showings a week...


But to give an answer to this question... I would say 1.1 mil if the housemates are bad. 1.6 if the housemate are good

after that I just want live a work free life and eat lots of chocolate...

[RileyH]

.....and I think it would get 3.3...

I'm not after fame just for personal gain, I just want people to hear me, know me and believe that i am the truth... after that I just want live a work free life and eat lots of chocolate...

Can you please stop banging on about yourself I don't want to be mean but every single post from you is you talking about how your life's goal is to get into the house or how you've been robbed and how the producers are wrong not to pick you....there's a reason babes you're completely neurotic, obsessed and nothing's worse when a housemate is obsessed with themselves and the show. From what I've read you wouldn't cope in that house you're far to concerned about everyone's opinions.

In the words of Regina George (slightly edited) stop trying to make you being a housemate happen...it's not going to happen!

And breath.

Anna will be the best housemate though and it will happen

[pontyboi]

Anyway I think it will probably average 0.8 launch just above 1 million.

Unless they pull out a massive ad campaign and suprise us with a brand new house in a different location and pull out all the stops with production and listen to fans for once.

Do they even use that because they have been some questionable housemates on BB, and if Shahbaz get on it then so could our Anna. BB does like to use people like that so they get ratings and make them leave or hope they leave.

I actually worry about your posts because you seem obsessed with getting on the show like its the only thing that would fulfil you and it would do the complete opposite because as you have said you are a worrier and you obsess on people's negative comments and such.

Your endless posts on the audition process were painfull reading watching you deconstruct and look into every aspect of why you hadn't been chosen...like you even resorted to maths and equations.

I come accross harsh but sorry just give up the need to be a housemate as it doesn't bring you any happiness just worry and constant agonising of "what if" ive been there where every È said I would make it into the house and been through many auditions. (Even teen bb) and producers make you feel amazing when you constantly get through rounds and are invited to audition for following series but it's all fake you seem like a cool chick so sorry if I offended you I think we are about the same age so listen to the adult here lol.

Stay cray cray....that's a compliment btw.

[Maxxie.]

Ik it was a long time ago but does anyone know why BB13’s launch rated so much? (2.9 official) then a drop to like 2.35 for BB14 :/

[Eddie.]

Anna, I don’t think three shows per week would be good, live feed or not.

Your post is way too long for me to bother to read... I get you feel negatively... Yet for some strange reason you feel conserned with my positivity...

I Don't read long negative comments... So I won't read all of it...

I anasyle everything... Because I'm smart... If you don't like that get out of the kitchen...

Also not all the post are about myself... Your just jealous over my confidance And over how I have alot of things to say...

[annabelindabee]

Anna, I don’t think three shows per week would be good, live feed or not.

I think it would get 1.1 minium so I don't think it will get to the piont of 1mil this year to get Canciled. .. But I'm sure it will happen one day for nothing lasts forever... What would you rather... A complete cancilation... Or three shows a week...

[annabelindabee]

Also have you read the tweets of this audutiinee.... She absolutely bonkers about getting on the show ... All her tweets are to big brother audition page... Telling them everything about her day and insulting them far not calling her.

I've just seen though that she deletes all her tweets but I've seen many where she just insults big brother for not calling her... And she does say she will delete her account if they don't call her... Shes said that she can't book holidays incase she gets in house.... She is way more absetesed than me... And her text are written in a crazy way... But she has deleted them now though

A complete cancellation because BB wasn’t what it used to be.

BBUS only has three shows a week to show the main stuff, I don’t want BBUK to do that, especially with no live feed.

I think to justify it’s existence going forwards, it needs to be getting at least 1.2m a night :worry:

Though what is the lowest and highest you can see BB19 achieving?

Lowest: 1.0 mil. :skull:
Highest: 2.0 mil. (being optimistic here)

I’m going to consider the fact that the reason for BB18 rating so low was love Island, and therefore terrible scheduling. Launching at 8:30pm, moving evictions to 10-11:30pm on Thursdays etc to avoid love island properly messed up BB18 for good. Since BB19 should be completely avoiding it, they’ll hopefully have a good and much stronger schedule and therefore I don’t think it’ll be possible for it to rate lower than 1.3/4 million.

I think the most it can rate is 1.6 again which is the C5 standard. If something incredible happens like the return of live feed, then maybe 1.8 at a push but I’m not sure it’ll reach 2m.

[Maru]

1.5...
1.2...

Let's be optimistic :love:

[Gstar]

How did BB18 average 1.24m... weren’t they pulling in like 400k viewers a night?

[Rob!]

How did BB18 average 1.24m... weren’t they pulling in like 400k viewers a night?

No, it wasn't quite that bad. Overnights were averaging in the 800k range, then offical ratings took it's average up to 1.24.

[*mazedsalv**]

How did BB18 average 1.24m... weren’t they pulling in like 400k viewers a night?

Ratings were around 800-900k overnights so 1.24m official sounds correct/

[annabelindabee]

Ratings were around 800-900k overnights so 1.24m official sounds correct/

how do ratings work with things like catchup tv and people who record things on virgin or sky box... and then theres the online views

... so the over night is on the night viewer and the rest is catchup and online?

[supertv247]

how do ratings work with things like catchup tv and people who record things on virgin or sky box... and then theres the online views

... so the over night is on the night viewer and the rest is catchup and online?

Overnight ratings count people who watch it live as it airs or within a few hours of it airing (say on pause, on +1 or live online for example) then official ratings add everyone who has recorded it and watched on catch up. For BB18 the average overnight was 865k and then the average catch up was 375k so the official average was 1.24 million.

None of the ratings yet count people who watch on demand (on My5 etc) but that’s changing in September, when they’ll start adding on demand viewers to the official ratings figures which should boost B.B. by a few 100k

How would the return of live feed increase ratings? It’ll probs only be superfans that would watch it anyway :/

For the record I can’t see it possible for this series to go above 2m and i’d say the lowest ratings it could get would be 1m officials.

Word of mouth I guess.

If someone for example comes onto a forum or Twitter and sees a dead feed about the show eg. barely any threads on a forum, the Twitter hashtag being very empty then they'll not be in a rush to watch. It will look bad for those who maybe came back from holiday and wanted to catch up.

Now if you have a 247 feed, more people would be talking about it across all social platforms (word of mouth is the biggest promotional strategy). And that would peak people's interests= word of mouth= slightly higher ratings.

[glibberglobber]

How would viewing figures be added to the total? For example if someone was flicking through the channels would it count as one view or is it a specific amount of time they have to watch?

[supertv247]

How would viewing figures be added to the total? For example if someone was flicking through the channels would it count as one view or is it a specific amount of time they have to watch?

It’s calculated with how many average viewers are watching. So at exactly 9:07pm there might be 1.245 million watching for that minute, and that average is added to all the other 1 minute averages throughout the hour to give the rating for the episode. So if you look at big tv shows like the BGT final, it averaged 9 million and had a 1 minute peak of 11 million during the results because more people flicked over for that part

[JoshBB]

If it had aired at it's usual time, I would have predicted anywhere from 800k-1.3m to be honest, just because Love Island did so well.

Given that it'll likely air in September now, and shows like the XFactor are not exactly creating much hype, I'd estimate from 1-2.2m. It's a big range I know, but it really depends on how serious C5 is about rebooting the show

[supertv247]

Now that it’s airing in September, it’s catching autumn which sees much more people watching TV at night than during the summer, PLUS there’s the bonus of BARB’s new ratings system which comes into place this September, counting on demand viewers for the first time. That could add up to 500k viewers to every episode, on top of the overnight and official. It also depends how CBB does.
I’m changing my prediction to;
Lowest: 1.5
Highest: 2.0

[Rob!]

Imagine the fumes from Ben Frow if it hits 2m officially because of the new BARB system :flutter:

[Nicky91]

Lowest: 100k

Highest: 2.2 million

[Jake.]

not 100k

[Nicky91]

not 100k

yes no one has interest for BB anymore these days we hear many say on here, so yeah i can see them scoring an all time low in ratings

[Rob!]

Nicky has spoken

[Eddie.]

100k is too much of a Low for this series, 800k is the lowest I can see it going, but I hope it doesn’t reach that point tbh...
